IMPACTO DE LA ACTIVIDAD FÍSICA EN EL RENDIMIENTO ACADÉMICO DE LOS ESTUDIANTES EN ÉPOCAS DE PANDEMIA

Abstract

Since March 16, 2020 was declared a state of emergency in Ecuadorian territory due to the health emergency caused by the Sars Cov 2 virus, since then life changed completely and we had to stay in our homes to be safer and prevent the spread of the virus so we began to live a life from virtuality and distancing. This is why we sought to design and implement a program of activities to demonstrate whether physical activity can improve the academic performance of students because after the pandemic it was observed that many young people had a decline in their grades. For this purpose, interviews, surveys, and of course, the program of activities were applied, in addition to making a comparison between the grades of the first cycle, with the second to verify if there was a favorable result. After executing the program of activities and comparing the grades obtained by the students between the first partial and the second partial in which the program was executed, it could be evidenced that in most of the cases there was an improvement in the grades, but not in a reduced percentage, therefore, it cannot be proved that in all the students the physical activity helped to improve their academic performance.
